Heavy Fruit

AllMusic Review
by Gregory Heaney

On their first album since the band went on hiatus back in 2011, Heavy Fruit finds North Carolina's He Is Legend dabbling with sludge and stoner on their fourth full-length outing. Fully abandoning their metalcore leanings, the album is a more straightforward hard rocker, completing a shift that's been a long time coming for the band. While that means Heavy Fruit might not be quite as hard-hitting as some of their earlier work, it does make for a more even record, and a fine return to active duty and a great debut for new drummer Sam Huff.
